China trip is an opportunity to foster
academic cooperation.
Canada, perhaps more than any other
country, has played a pivotal role in the development of China’s
system of higher education, wrote Concordia University political
scientist Kimberley Manning in an opinion piece in The Gazette
(Montreal) Feb. 7. Manning cited the research of
Qiang Zha, a professor in York’s Faculty
of Education, who says the Canadian
International Development Agency has invested more than $250
million in higher education since the early 1980s, an amount
surpassed only by investments made by the World Bank during the
same period. Much of this early funding went toward the
development of basic capacity-building in professional studies,
including a highly successful program to build Chinese
management education.

film deals with things seen and seared into memory. Is
vision a gift or a burden?

contract faculty member in the Department of Film and a Fellow
of Winters College, addresses in his latest production. His new
feature documentary, Blinding, makes its Toronto premiere at
Pleasure Dome this weekend.
Pleasure Dome presents Sanguedolce’s Blinding, followed
by a Q&A session with the filmmaker, on Saturday, Jan. 21 at 7pm
at Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Ave. Next month, Sanguedolce
brings the film to York’s Keele campus for a screening Feb. 14
at 12:30pm in the Nat Taylor Cinema.Pleasure Dome presents

Legal scholar asks why so few Aboriginals
vote in Canada.
If the right to vote is considered a human
right and a civic duty, is voting a question of justice, and, if
so, should Aboriginal peoples be reasonably expected to
participate, asks political scientist Jennifer Dalton in her
talk Feb. 8 as part of the McLaughlin College Lunch Talk series.

Magical fingers
He has made an indelible mark not only
in the country but in international circuits too through his
performances, compositions, teachings and extensive
collaborations in the field of world music, wrote India’s The
Hindu Feb. 2, introducing an interview with Trichy Sankaran,
music professor in York’s Faculty of Fine Arts and mridangam
maestro. He has made rich contributions to the academic field in
the past four decades and taught many Western musicians,
including jazz drummers, said the paper. Sankaran talked about
founding York’s South Asian music program with the late Jon
Higgins. “Foreigners are fascinated by our rhythm system, the
techniques used in playing and even how the nadam in mridangam
is generated,” said Sankaran.
